2. File operations and output
MergeDock accesses files and folders only after you select them or authorize access through macOS.
Analysis runs when you start a comparison. Output files are written only through actions you initiate.
3. Data stored by the app
MergeDock may store the following information in its app environment to provide requested features:
- Preferences such as appearance, comparison rules, editor behavior and language.
- Recent-comparison history and pinned sessions.
- Recovery data retained when a safe overwrite does not complete and the original file may need to be restored.
- Security-scoped bookmark data used to regain macOS-authorized access to selected files or folders.
- Cached App Store product display information and verified entitlement state.
File timestamps may be read to detect external changes and maintain comparison state. These values are used for app functionality, not advertising or tracking.
4. File and folder access
MergeDock runs in the App Sandbox. You grant access through macOS when selecting a file, folder, save destination or Git repository. A security-scoped bookmark may preserve that authorization for future history, recovery or Git sessions. If macOS invalidates an authorization after a move, restore or storage change, the app may ask you to select the current location again.
5. App Store purchases
Apple processes downloads, purchases, restoration and payment details. MergeDock requests product information and verified entitlement status from StoreKit so it can display availability and unlock purchased features. MergeDock does not receive your full payment-card details.
6. Support messages
If you contact support@mergedock.net, the email address, message, attachments and diagnostic details you choose to provide are received through the email service used for support. They are used to answer your request, investigate the reported issue and maintain necessary support records. Avoid sending confidential file content unless specifically requested and appropriately redacted.
7. This website
This static website does not use advertising SDKs, analytics tags or tracking cookies. The language selector stores its state only in the page URL. Links to the App Store and email open services governed by their respective providers.
8. Your controls and deletion
- Manage comparison history and pinned sessions from the history window.
- Manage recovery items from Recovery Center.
- Reset settings from the relevant settings pages where available.
- Remove the app to delete data held in its local app container, subject to macOS and backup behavior.
- Use macOS Settings to review or revoke system-level file permissions where available.
9. Security and retention
MergeDock uses macOS sandboxing, user-selected file access and security-scoped authorization to limit file access. Local settings, history and recovery data remain until removed through available controls, app removal or system cleanup. Support correspondence is retained only as reasonably needed to respond, diagnose recurring issues and meet legal obligations.
10. Updates and contact
This policy may be updated when product behavior or legal requirements change. The effective date above identifies the current version. Privacy questions may be sent to support@mergedock.net.
